Walk This Way
‘Walk This Way’ is one of Aerosmith’s best-known songs, and it appears on the band’s 1975 album Toys in the Attic. The group found it difficult to come up with a title for the song, which was surprising given their previous experience. That is, until they ended up going to see Young Frankenstein, a movie directed by Mel Brooks, and changed their minds about it. Upon seeing the film, the band made a joke regarding Marty Feldman encouraging Gene Wilder to follow him all around haunting castle, limping along and saying, “walk this way.” The joke was based on the film. As they tell, the rest was history.

Total Eclipse Of The Heart
The song “Total Eclipse of the Heart” appeared on Bonnie Tyler’s fifth studio album, Faster Than the Speed of Night, which was released in 2008. While it’s clearly evident that it’s a love song, there’s something else about it that many people aren’t aware of: it’s a love song about love. A vampire love ballad, the song was written written by Jim Steinman. During an interview with Playbill, Steinman explained, “…I actually wrote that song to be a vampire love song. It was originally titled ‘Vampires in Love’ because I was working on a musical adaptation of Nosferatu at the time…”.
